The Berkeley Math Circle (BMC) is a weekly program for over 250 San Francisco Bay Area elementary, middle and high school students. The weekly sessions are on
Tuesdays evenings at the UC Berkeley campus. The program is jointly sponsored by the UC Berkeley Math Department, the Mosse Foundation For Arts
and Education through the Mathematical Sciences Research Insitute (MSRI), and Parents' Contributions.

Emulating famous Eastern European models, the program aims at drawing kids to mathematics, preparing them for mathematical contests, introducing
them to the wonders of beautiful mathematical theories, and encouraging them to undertake future careers linked with mathematics, whether as
mathematicians, mathematics educators, economists, or business entrepeneurs.

Parking Information
Parking is notoriously hard nearby UCB campus. Plan on arriving at least 15 minutes early. We start at 6 pm, respectively, 6:15pm sharp for the corresponding
groups. The campus map showing available parking can be found here.
On the map, Evans Hall is in D2, so the Lower Hearst Structure in E1 is probably the best parking choice. The fee for parking is $1 per hour.
